Clemson U.’s Tiger Transit kicks off ‘cash cab’

CLEMSON, S.C. — The TigerNews reported that CLEMSONLiVE, Clemson University’s activities service, and Tiger Transit partnered to give students a chance to win money and prizes inspired by the reality game show, “Cash Cab.”

Cash Cab gives students an incentive to follow CLEMSONLiVE on Twitter to find out when they can win money. Students following CLEMSONLiVE will also get updates about upcoming events. Tiger Transit benefits from the weekly giveaways through greater visibility among students. For the full story, click here.

By purchasing remanufactured buses, including a two-door, 60-foot articulated bus and two 40-foot buses, Liberty University will receive fully renovated buses in like-new condition for less than half the cost.

The program, Driving Community Connections, is supported by the Ohio Department of Aging and the Ohio Board of Regents. UC students who volunteer can take a one credit hour online elective course to learn more about the aging process.

The University of Wisconsin's 2014 biennial transportation survey report released last month found that in good weather 49% of students opted to walk to class, 22% chose to bike and 18% elected to take the bus. The report also found that about one-fifth of students currently use Madison Metro on a given day.
